Lagoon Sedimentation and Circulation at One Tree Reef, Southern Great Barrier Reef

Observational data on water movement and sediment transport at One Tree Reef in the Southern Great Barrier Reef. The dataset likely contains measurements of currents, sediment size, and bioturbation effects under modal wind, wave, and tide conditions. It was published by Geoscience Australia Data and last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling lagoon sediment transport based on current velocity and grain size observations.
• Analyzing the impact of bioturbation on sediment suspension and short-distance transport.
• Studying the influence of low-frequency, high-energy events on southeast to northwest water movement.
• Assessing the role of patch reefs in local sediment supply and reef morphology changes.

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific, well-studied reef system (One Tree Reef, Southern Great Barrier Reef).
• Description provides a clear theoretical framework for sediment transport processes.
• Last updated date is explicitly provided (2026-03-25).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a single reef study site.
